This is an elegant Fukuro obi with 'oshidori'(mandurin duck), bobbin, 'kiku'(chrysanthemum), 'fuji' (wisteria) and 'sakura'(cherry blossom) on 'noshi' (ceremonial origami fold) design, which is embroidered.Gold foil threads woven in the pastel color design are elegantly shining.Textile is exquisite silk and has smooth touch. Maegara(front patterned part) is only one side.When you start wrapping the obi from your right tummy to left (Rotate obi counterclockwise), the maegara will appear. Both ends are roughly sewn.(It doesn't matter when tied.)

There are tiny stains on the embroidery on 'otaiko'(square bow) but they are not so noticeable from far.Not shown in the photos, it has two prominent stains on the upper right 'otaiko'(square bow), but they could not be seen when tied.It also has folding lines.For the details, please refer to the photos and the sheet.

If these minor flaws do not bother you, it could be still worn. This piece would add extra elegance to your kimono outfit.
